Command Line Interface

Edit this page on GitHub

SvelteKit projects use Vite, meaning you'll mostly use its CLI (albeit via npm run dev/build/preview scripts):

  • vite dev — start a development server
  • vite build — build a production version of your app
  • vite preview — run the production version locally

However SvelteKit includes its own CLI for initialising your project:

svelte-kit syncpermalink

svelte-kit sync creates the generated files for your project such as types and a tsconfig.json. When you create a new project, it is listed as the prepare script and will be run automatically as part of the npm lifecycle, so you should not ordinarily have to run this command.
